Lifted and modified from elsewhere online, and mostly true.
1. You have no idea what a scarf does but think it looks good.
2. You know how to get to any casino on the strip without taking Las Vegas Blvd.
3. You can now predict where construction signs will be misleadingly placed.
4. You accept the fact that stop signs and red lights mean very little to tourists.
5. You become nocturnal between the months of April to October.
6. You know the seasons: Really hot, 2 weeks of nice, not so hot, 2 weeks of nice.
7. When you go to different cities, you're amazed things aren't open after 9 pm.
8. It doesn't faze you to see slot machines in grocery stores.
9. You have no idea how a lottery works.
10. What the hell is last call?
11. Your most prized possession as a Nevadan is your blue and white license plate.
12. You know the spaghetti bowl has nothing to do with food and you want nothing to do with it.
13. You know never to merge right when driving north on I-15; it'll just end anyway.
14. You think a well-organized pile of rocks can be a nice lawn.
15. Snowfall only happens on TV.
16. The term Lake Las Vegas doesn't seem problematic in the slightest.

35. You've never had to pay for parking.

37. You've forgotten what rain looks like.

And here are some if my own:
38. You are afraid to get too drunk on fremont street because you can't be sure you will take home a "real" girl.
39. You have become accustomed to walking into grocery stores on the east side and hearing spanish music.
40. You would rather shop at walmart between the hours I'd 3am and 4am.
41. You aren't sure if you like the fact that being drunk in public is not against the law.
42. You have to drive 2 hours in any direction to get somewhere significant.
43. Your out of state relatives ask you to take them to the strip and you hand them car keys.
44. You would rather drive the i95 all the way around the city than exit anywhere near mlk blvd.
